Subcontract Agreement

A subcontract agreement is one of the most prominent contracts for the execution of works. The construction contract is a contract whereby the contractor shall complete a particular work for the employer, for a fee. As the works of construction contracts develop and diversify, the contractor's ability to perform the work solely without hiring any third parties is almost impossible, except for some simple types of contracting that the contractor can execute directly.

However, most modern contracting can only be executed by third parties, by what is known as subcontracting, such as in major construction contracting, or at least using them as the main contractor's assistants.
